How do they do it?! The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop

[@mldkenny]

So pleased you were persuaded to do this Classic version, just stunning and a lovely reaction. Bongo Bong from The Big Push is AWESOME.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! Yes, that one is on this list!!😊👍

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

The Big Push rooftop performance of Bongo Bong is undoubtedly one of the best experiences one can have with the band. It has a way of making you feel like you're actually there with them.

[@tundiel]

Gave this a like before even viewing it, as I know you're going to love it! Glen on drums, Romain on electric and Gorran on base 😊😊😊 (each one needs a smiley face of their own). I never tire of this one. One of the best mash ups I've ever heard, and I love it when Ren goes reggae/ska 😍

[@MrsRealistic]

Yes, his voice is perfectly suited for it!

[@sammyd8860]

I have watched this so many times. It is still the best live performance I have ever seen. And this is on the end of a street. Incredible !

[@MrsRealistic]

I'm so jealous!! I wish I could see something this awesome in person!

[@reactivereplays5666]

Thank you for your reactions and that you read them all means a lot. If Ren and Chin - Chalk Outlines broke you... You MUST listen to Ren and Chinchilla - "How To Be Me". Ren wrote it about his best friend who committed suicid. Their harmonies are out of this world... I don't want to say to much but I want to entice you to react to this. It's truly phenomenal... Most versatile artist I've seen in at least 20 years... Writing (musically and written word), sing, rap, direct, act, story telling, vision of a finished product, SOOO much to Ren. Edit: 6:54 "Hip Hop" Is another song. All covers here. Ren and The Big Push are able to blend songs together effortlessly and weave in and out! "Hip Hop" song Group called "Dead Prez" ;) Music is life!

[@MrsRealistic]

That one is definitely on the list next! I can't wait to listen to it!

[@Perspectiveon]

Ren Gill the man. Gorran Kendall on bass. Romain Axisa sologuitar and Glen Chambers on drums. The Big Pushs awesome bandmembers Just love this rendition. #2 on my playlist is Wade in the water/Trouble so hard. Older - from before lock-down - but equally amazing performance.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it! 😊👍

[@deanc486]

You can't help but smile at this. So talented. Thanks for the reaction.

Let's not pass on by how beautiful that Fender Telecaster Ren is playing! Romain's Epiphone is just as a beautiful guitar. The Bassist is holding the rhythm and melody down. Lovely Fender Precision Bass.

[@keithsowerby8179]

I like watching some of the older ones now and then, that guitar intro is something I'll never tire of hearing. There are two songs from this gig that you haven't reacted to yet 'Watch Out' was the next one played and they finished with 'Paint it Black' well worth a look😊

another excellent reaction, thank you so much for sharing. would love to see you cover "heretic" by Ren. i think it's probably right up your street and for pure unadulterated fun, try "watch out" by the big push, either the video (which is cuteness on steroids!) or the live busking version which was performed the same day and the same place as the one you reacted to here. much love to you and yours and thank you once again.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Romain Axisa(with the cap on) has lots of solo songs out there. Try the live version of his own composition, "Love Without Feelings", where he plays piano and is accompanied by violin, cello and a local church choir. It's truly beautiful. He has also done covers of some very famous songs, notably, Ray Charles's "Georgia On My Mind" or "Bang Bang" (Nancy Sinatra among others), "Blue Moon" (Elvis Presley). You'll love them all.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you!! I'm getting some great suggestions! 😊

[@AlSnoopsReid]

@@MrsRealistic Can't wait to see how you react to any of the above. Tbh, after watching one you'll want to see everything he's done. He has quite a few other originals written by himself and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say they're all top quality songs.

[@MrsRealistic]

@@AlSnoopsReid It might take some time, but I'll get there eventually 😉

[@docdurdin]

Ren is a fearless performer, the music just pours out of him naturally. Romain Axisa, lead guitar Ren, Gorran Kendall, Bass and Glenn Chambers, Drums. Hope you catch his interview today with Black Pegasus, it was great. Brighton is a beautiful seaside community. Great reaction as usual.

[@MrsRealistic]

I feel very sad that I've never been able to visit. I only saw my dad once every year or two since my parents split when I was about 2... it was a promise never kept. I still have family there, some of whom I've met when they traveled to Canada, but many I've never met. My dad is now 70 and I don't think he'll be paying to take me to England now lol! I am going to check out Ren's interview...I just found out about it today!

[@docdurdin]

@@MrsRealistic Glad you going to see the interview, it answered a lot of questions for me. I do know as I said on there, if Ren were my son, I would have my butt in Canada. If your heart's desire is to visit your homeland, try to start a little fund set aside. The UK is interior is in a horrible state right now aka London. They have flooded the country with foreign invaders much like our own borders.

[@MrsRealistic]

@@docdurdin Yes, I've kept updated a little bit on how things have gone downhill there. I don't know if I'll ever visit honestly... as much as I would love to say I went... my kids will want to come, and so would hubby... and that's a LOT of dough! 😆 My dad would probably be able to tell me the best places to visit... but even he hasn't been back in eons.

Yes, the ladies love Ren. The men were pushed to the back of the crowd so that Ren's groupies could flirt with him. Ren did make one mistake but recovered so fast it is so easy to miss it. Thank you for reacting to The Big Push. They are loved almost as much as Ren himself.

Awesome aren't they! All THIS! Just on a street corner, and for Free! Can you imagine them in a big stadium? I can. But the timing is so crap. Just as their past work is getting a much bigger profile, with Ren's rise, especially when Hi Ren broke through, they broke up just before. Most now working on solo stuff. A LOT of people are asking whether they might still get back together for the occasional Gig. Don't know what their answer is. Meanwhile, Ren's love of Reggae really shines through here and explains why we hear Reggae 'flavours' in a lot of his work. A Great Appetizer Plate of his enormous range. 😄

Yes, I heard talk of them doing more together... altho I'm not sure if that's still the case? They really are great!

I've watched that whole series 2 or 3 times 😄 No, my dad doesn't have his accent anymore, but my Nan and Granddad never lost theirs. They've both since passed. My dad still has certain things he says that are clearly "English"... like he says "Enne-thing" (anything) instead of how Canadians or Americans say "E-knee-thing". My Nan and Granddad had so many awesome terms that no one would understand unless they were from that area. 😄 I have many fond memories. My Granddad was a magician and entertainer his entire career.
